I've only just found the channel. Hello from Torbay ;-) I love event photography so seeing your video at Glastonbury was great. I get caught up in not being able to be everywhere. Something I need to reign in ;-)
@@pressphotographerfocus5361 Yes, give it a go mate. I managed to get a job as a press photographer about 3 months back for a major New Zealand media group. I actually got the job by accident, right time, right place. I don't even have qualification, but my previous photo work got me the job. I also do video work with my 1dx MkIII which is part of my issued kit. One minute I'm shooting something mundane like leaking water pipes in the street, next minute, I'm in Parliament helping set up live streaming for a prime minister speech. The job is a bit different to what I expected, but in a good way, because I get to choose how I want to shoot and edit. What I find interesting is, when I'm at a breaking news event, all the other media workers, all help each other. No where near the rivalry I expected. It is also quite interesting hearing about news unreleased to the public for various reason. I have had six front page pics so far. I never would have guessed I would be doing this for a job.
Was it difficult considering leaving behind still photography and photojournalism and move onto broadcasting.. ive been following your videos for long and yes being a press photographer myself i understand it’s nearly impossible to do weekly vlogging.. coming to the question.. do you miss print? Photojournalism?
Glad to see you back. I'm a contributor to your old gang at SWNS. During 2019 I did a lot of coverage of the demise at Bury FC, and found it interesting to see the crossover between the two disciplines,as there were a lot of TV crews covering as well-in fact my exclusive was lit by the lights from the ITN crew who stayed after everyone else had cleared off. Some info on behind the scenes, and sat vans would be great.
